Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Those of us foreigners living in Spain are undoubtedly the envy of friends and family back home.

Unfortunately, tales abound of difficulties, frustration and a lot of wasted time – all just to be able to pick up the phone and call our loved ones!

Are you being overcharged?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Have you ever looked at your telephone bill from Telefonica and wondered if they had made a big mistake? ‘How can it be so high?’ you think. Then you call them or do the math yourself only to find out that not only is the bill ludicrously high, but absolutely correct too. Sad indeed!

So, exactly how much are you being overcharged each month on your phone calls and Internet?  At Direct Telecom, we can tell you to the cent!

Just show us a recent Telefonica bill and we will work out how much you would have saved if you had made those very same calls and/or accessed the Internet through Direct Telecom’s services. All you have to do is post us a photocopy of your latest Telefonica bill together with your contact details to

Direct Telecom
Edificio Eden Nº 101,
Los Cristianos, 38650
Tenerife, Spain

or fax it to us on 922 797 511 (or even bring it over to our offices). We’ll take care of the rest. And what’s more, we’ll also check your bill for any unnecessary services you may be paying for but not using – an all too common occurrence! This ‘Are you being overcharged?’ service is FREE and using it places you under no obligation to sign up with us.

However, prepare to be pleasantly surprised when you find out how much money you could be saving each month on your phone and Internet services with Direct Telecom. Maybe it’s the cost of a nice evening at the cinema… or a meal for two at your favourite restaurant… What if it’s more?

Once you have exact savings figures based on your own Telefonica bill, making the switch to Direct Telecom won’t be just a no-brainer. It will also be the smartest thing you could do!
